University of Warwick

The environment and atmosphere of the campus is very enjoyable and pleasant. There are many learning areas to do work and chill with friends. In my opinion, although the library is well equipped, it lacks aesthetic appeal. There could be more affordable shops to get quick snacks from.

Warwick facilitates study in number of ways and not just with location. The library is the first place of call, with the Faculty of Arts and The Oculus central hubs for study, but it is the community feel and social prospects that motivate studying for me. Especially on campus in the first year, the library is so accessible and more so that it is open 24/7. Apart of the best experiences is the first and second floors of the library where you can socialise comfortably and work with course mates, and then if you want silence you only have to go up one floor. However, during the days the library does get incredibly busy, but there are some hidden areas in the extension that are available, quiet and good to escape to. On weekends if you have a lot of course work due, you can easily spend the whole day in the library, with access to hot food and drinks below, with space to relax and go when you want a break from work. One thing that can be a little tedious is the searching for books, but in the end you will always find it.

I like that everything is in such close proximity. I spend most of my days in the FAB and it only takes about a five minute walk from Arthur Vick! My least favourite part of the uni experience, however, is either the fact that my flatmates are loud late at night, or that Leamington and Coventry seem to be quite poor for night life.

Warwick university is a great place to study due to its multicultural student population, this allows you to meet so many new people you may not otherwise meet, which is really special. The facilities and campus are great! Sometimes the library and Faculty of Arts Building are too packed that it is impossible to find a seat anywhere, but if you go further afield you can always find somewhere.

The campus itself is very nice, with the facilities and the majority of the teachers being very good at what they do. The student union and the people in charge do not listen to students and their demands. Buses also need to be improved.
